The American Pops Orchestra (APO) presents the semi-final round of its 5th Annual NextGen National Competition: Finding the Voices of Tomorrow.
NextGen is a vocal competition created by APO and Music Director Luke Frazier with the purpose of identifying young aspiring vocalists from across the United States and providing them the opportunity to work with and learn from industry professionals, as well as to perform live with an orchestra.
With a mission to promote and preserve classic American music, APO requires participants to perform pre-1970 songs and encourages them to sing lesser-known, classic pieces that demonstrate their vocal capabilities and connect audiences of all ages. All aspects of the competition are offered 100% free of charge to contestants, giving students and young vocalists of all backgrounds the opportunity to participate in the competition and to work with APO.
From hundreds of applicants, 30 semi-finalists were chosen to compete in the upcoming round to be broadcast on January 29. And then from this group, 10 contestants will be selected to advance to the live final round in March 2022.
